Final Hours to the Next Year: The Festive Menu.
When it is about organizing celebrations, people tend to divide into a pair of rather separate groups: those who love the process, and people that would choose to do almost anything else. Being organized ahead of time is key, and finding a few tasty dishes to start the proceedings will entertain your attendees while you try to hold everything together.
Fennel, Lemon and Smoked Paprika Almonds
These citrusy, spiced nibbles make for a perfect pairing for the vibrant pink grapefruit mocktails detailed below.
Salmon & Ricotta on Buckwheat Blinis
A delicious festive first course that can easily be modified to serve with a fruity garnish for the kids.
Refreshing Grapefruit Mocktails with Cardamom & Lime
These drinks are a refreshing substitute to alcohol, but also create a delicious mixer for a tequila-based drink.
Lemon-Infused Juniper Martinis
Handcrafted spirit for a particularly festive holiday cocktail, ideal for giving as a present or offering at events.
Slow-Cooked Shredded Lamb Shoulder with Red Onion Sumac Salad
Bask in the admiration of this show-stopping feast – no one will possibly realize how minimal work was required.
Chocolate Tart with Spiced Cranberry
In this rich dessert, puddles of spiced cranberry sauce are nestled into a chocolaty frangipane for a flavor pairing that uses any surfeit of holiday fruit to excellent effect.
